Vincent (starry, Starry Night) Lyrics - Josh Groban In Concert - Josh Groban

V1 

Starry, starry night 

Paint your palette blue and gray. 

Look out on a summer's day 

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. 

Shadows on the hills, 

Sketch the trees and daffodils, 

Catch the breeze and the winter chill 

In colors on the snowy linen land. 

Chorus 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me 

And how you suffered for your sanity 

And how you tried to set them free. 

They would not listen. 

They did not know how. 

Perhaps they'll listen now.

V2 

Starry, starry night 

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze 

Swirling cloud and violet haze 

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. 

Colors changing hue. 

Mourning fields of amber grain 

Weathered faces lined in pain 

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hands. 

Chorus 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me 

And how you suffered for your sanity 

And how you tried to set them free. 

They would not listen 

They did not know how 

Perhaps they'll listen now.

V3 

For they could not love you 

But still your love was true. 

And when no hope was left inside 

On that starry, starry night 

You took your life as lovers often do. 

But I could have told you, Vincent, 

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. 

V4 

Like the strangers that you've met, 

The ragged men in ragged clothes. 

The silver thorn, a bloody rose 

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me 

And how you suffered for your sanity. 

And how you tried to set them free. 

They would not listen. 

They're not listening still 

Perhaps they never will.
